have had hardly sick day in my life

Mr.. Blaine positively declined to talk
about politics, except that while in con-
versstion with the correspondent in his
cottage at Bar Hsrbor, he said in regard
TO the Burchard incident in 1884. He
said: II did not hear what he said,
but the reporters heard it, and next
day every paper IN the country had it,
of course. But az q matter of fact, [
did not hear it myself. Why, out in
Indiana they had it said-0h, yes,
it west al over the State,
and why il a good many
places in the West they had slips OF
paper printed with Read what Mr..
them in front Of churches on
Sunday. That is what lost NE
the election. You know, of
course, how close it was.
Well, in New York City alone it lost
me several thousand Yotes-a good deal
more than enough to have carried the
State. I have never felt sure that
I was not elected. It was a
matter of less than 600 votes

way. When it is as close as that there

not think it can be ever said with Ger
